Mahnomen man shot in stomach and head
Just about a week ago, Chris Dewey was shot in the stomach and the head. He was then put into a induced coma, since the surgeries he has made great progress, and hopefully will be release sometime later this week. Chris was involved with a local neighborhood shooting, two Twin-Cities men are facing multiple charges, in the shootings. From Mahnomen they transferred him to Fargo where all his surgeries took place. Thomas Lee Fairbanks, 32, the alleged shooter, was charged with first-degree attempted murder and 20 other felony counts in the shooting of Dewey and the following standoff with officers. Daniel Kurt Vernier, 27, was charged with 16 felonies.They even have their own website you can visit and leave comments.
What a horrible incident this family had to go through. They are extremely lucky that he actually made it through the shooting itself. Not many cases of people getting shot in the head, have survived, let alone the stomach as well. Also for the shooters, what were they thinking?! I mean to shoot someone is horrible.... and then to shoot a cop, that is way worse. They go to jail/prison they will always be known as the cop shooter, and those cops in the jail/prison are going to treat them even worse.

Drag Queen Homecoming Queen
The Drag Queen Homecoming Queen
It is true, at George Mason University in a suburban town of Washington D.C. Ryan Allen became the homecoming queen as Reann Ballslee. A senior from Virginia’s Goochland County Ryan said it was one of most exciting moments of his life, winning this on Saturday. The contest was half talent judging and half voting by the student body. Allen received the most votes but does not know how he scored in the talent competition, in which he performed in zebra-print pants and lip-synced to Britney Spears.“Reann is very sassy, very silly. She’s an entertainer throughout. She’s not afraid to do a high kick if that’s what it takes,” Allen said. “She’s got a little camp but is not as campy as some queens.” I thought this was a great article, showing how comfortable everyone was, not only Ryan but also the community and the school. They had local news articles that had all positive remarks about this remarkable day of Ryan's. More power to him I think, it is Ryan's life and I think it is great how open he was about his homosexuality and his cross dressing to even try out for homecoming queen. Not only is the college known for its openness of this, but also is very colored diversity college. Soooo, all in all :) GO RYAN or Reann whichever name he likes better :)

Another week gone by, another blog to be made :)
As I'm sure by now we have all heard about the Continental Connection Flight 3407 that crashed in Buffalo, NY on Thursday, killing 49 people on the plane and 1 on the ground. They are saying now it is possible for the crash to have been caused by ice on the wings, because they were just passing through light snow and mist. The thing that kind of caught me off guard was they were talking about how a 9/11 widow was killed in this accident. They talked about all the works she did trying to keep her husbands memory alive, she even went to Congress with her story. What a tragic way to go for her, considering the one thing that killed her husband was a plane and the people that took them over. At least now, they will both live on with a great memory each of them.
And here we go again..........the Rodriguez trial is back in the news. This time his lawyers are trying to say that Alfonso Rodriguez the man convicted in 2003 of killing Dru Sjodin had an unfair trail because improper evidence was allowed at trial. Saying that a testimony from two girls Rodriguez assaulted in 1974 should be overlooked because they weren't "bodily injured" by him. After this argument the U.S. defense attorney for North Dakota, Drew Wrigley, stated that the trial was fair but the prosecutors would always be fighting with the verdict of the trial. They don't know yet when the panel might rule for what is to happen with this information the prosecutors brought forth but it will be interesting I'm sure. It's unbelievable to me that with all the evidence they have on Rodriguez and all the priors he had, he is still trying to get out of the conviction. Rodriguez, I think is just trying to pull this along as long as he can. Granted he won't get the death sentence he is suppose to right away, but he's trying to dig through every little crack that he can with his case, to stretch his time as long as he can. Being optimistic, maybe he's not guilty and he's trying to prove himself innocent, but to me....that is definitely not the case, I think.

Stories of the world
60 YEAR OLD WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO TWINS
Wow, in Calgary, Canada a 60 year old woman gave birth to twins. After going through invitro fertilization she was able to get pregnant. Although having children this late in life isn't unheard of, it's unbelievable. My mother is 57, and I could not imagine her having another child, I don't think she could psychically handle it. I mean there is a lot of things that come along with being 60 years old, chance of arthritis, heart attack and even stroke. There are so many medical problems that could occur, and when having a baby I believe you should be in some sort of good psychically condition. Not only was this lady pregnant but she had twins, which means double the trouble. As long as knew she was ready to be a mom again I think it would all work out, I just hope she knew what she was getting into with having twins at such a late age.
KMART RECALLS BAKED GOODS
There is a risk of salmonella in some of the baked goods in KMART. Some of them have been linked to Hickory Harvey Foods peanut products which have been contaminated. So doughnuts, peanut butter cake, and single layer Carmel apple cake can be brought back to the store and recalled. This whole salmonella outbreak has sickened 575 people in 43 states, and at least 8 people died. There has been 1,300 products in Georgia's processing plant recalled alone. It's unreal how one product(peanut butter) can cause so much damage and chaos when something has gone wrong with it. I haven't even dared to eat any type of peanut butter, I'd rather not risk it at all!!

Interesting, very interesting.......
FROZEN MAN
While searching the news, I found an article I was baffled by. A 93 year old man from Michigan was found froze to death, after his utility company put a limit on his useage of power and heat. Just four days after the company put the gauge on, he was found. The reason they put it on to begin with was he had an unpaid bill of $1,000, which in turn he left $60,000 to a local hospital. Ok, so I understand people not paying bills is not good for companies, but cutting down someones electricity in the winter time is uncalled for. I can't count the number of times my parents forgot to pay the electric, the phone, or the internet bill. There were countless numbers of times showering in the dark unable to call anyone. Never in the winter time did this sort of thing happen, I don't know how anyone could do such a thing. Luckly though they stated they are investingating something to make sure companies can't do that during the winter time.
PHELPS IS BYE BYE FOR 3 MONTHS
Michael Phelps happen to have a picture of himself with a marijuana pipe in his mouth. They are suspending him not necessarily because he broke the non-drug rule was violated but it is more of the disappointment he brought towards the whole world. He didn't deny the photo but did said he made a bad judgement call. Ok, so I know we all make bad calls, but if your in the lime light of the world and you just won 8 Olympic medals, I think I'd be really watching my behind. I mean that's what the world does to famous people, finds out your bad points, or your negative behaviors and BLOW them up infront of the world. It happens to all the famous people, over and over again. It's only 3 months he'll be back, but the fact he was an American icon, really dissapointed people. He'll get over it and people will forget about it, it's part of life for some people.
